Jay-Z Had a Hard Knock Life But Now Travels in Style!
Jay-Z is one of the most talented and successful rappers in the world. But along with his incredible discography, did you know he also has an amazing car collection to boot?
He's been spotted driving everything from Ferraris to Lamborghinis, and he even has his own custom-made Maybach. Check out the cars in his collection!
Pagani Zonda F
Jay-Z isn't alone in the celebrity Pagani club. PSG's Lionel Messi is also a member and wears his Pagani badge with pride.
Jay-Z's Pagani is slightly different. The F in the Zonda’s name stands for Fangio, the Argentine race car driver who won the Monaco GP twice during his storied career.
The F was the biggest update Pagani had made to the supercar since its launch in 1999, pushing the 7.3-litre AMG V12 up to 641bhp.
Only 25 units were built, making this one of the most valuable cars in today's car collection and the world.
Maybach Exelero
The Mercedes-Benz Maybach Exelero is a one-off supercar commissioned by Fulda, a German subsidiary of Goodyear.
Why was it built? To test tyres. How much does this tyre-testing machine cost? Just over five-and-a-half million pounds.
This tyre tester was built off the bones of a Maybach and has a twin-turbo V12 engine producing 690 horsepower and 752 pound-feet of torque.
This car is definitely one of the most expensive cars ever! Of course, Jay-Z would own one!
Rolls-Royce Phantom VIII
The Rolls-Royce Phantom is one of the most iconic cars in automotive history.
It's been around for over 100 years and is still one of the most popular cars among celebrities and the wealthy. Nothing screams luxury than getting out of a Rolls-Royce!
And it's no surprise that Jay-Z has one in his collection; he clearly has a thing for expensive, luxury cars.
Bentley Continental GT
Got a spare £185k lying around? If so, get yourself a Bentley Continental GT, a car the rich and famous love driving.
With a 6.0-litre W12 engine, the Bentley Continental GT drives all four wheels through an eight-speed automatic gearbox.
That means it's powerful. Very powerful. However, along with its high price, the GT is also an expensive car to run.
Not that Jay-Z would mind, with his net worth currently standing at about £1.1 billion 😂
Bugatti Veyron
A favourite with footballers, the Bugatti Veyron does 265 mph-plus and has 1,000 bhp.
For his 40th birthday, the better half of this iconic rapper, no other than Beyonce, got him a Bugatti.
As far as snazzy cars go, this one looks like it came from out of space. And for £2m, the price is out of this world, too.
But for people with money to burn, this price tag is nothing!
